That [Soul] is onefold, is threefold, fivefold, sevenfold, and also ninefold; Again, declared elevenfold, And hundred-and-eleven-fold, And also twenty-thousand-fold.

Robert Ernest Hume 1921, The Thirteen Principal Upanishads

In pure nourishment (āhāra-śuddhi) there is a pure nature (sattva-śuddhi). In a pure nature the traditional doctrines (smṛti) become firmly fixed. In acquiring the traditional doctrines there is release from all knots [of the heart]. To such a one who has his stains wiped away the blessed Sanatkumāra shows the further shore of darkness. People call him Skanda—yea, they call him Skanda.
